I'm kind of happy that there is a secret for this. Less than a week ago, I decided to revisit my old, old fandoms from years ago, this being one of the very first. I found a fic I really love again and I still like it and right now, I'm on such an incredible nostalgia-trip it's not even funny anymore XD

What I noticed:

I really want a shiny, slightly grittier reboot of this anime. Because I really think that it has great potential. Not exactly for becoming the most deep and perfect anime ever, but it could have been really cool had the anime not been so incredibly... bad. That's the main reason I can only ever stay in the fandom and read the artbook-manga thing: I couldn't bear to watch this horrible anime again. It was. So. Bad. It didn't have to, though. That's a pity.
A lot of the series and the franchise in general was so silly, especially those stupid German names for everything.
But a reboot in the style/quality of, say Darker than Black? I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

(Sorry, I can't control the volume when excited.)

I agree.

Though I always avoided the fandom becuse of the hate the female characters got.

What female characters?

(Yes, I remember Manx and the little girl who was Omi's love interest for an ep or so and the real comatose Aya, but other than that...)

I never saw a lot of hate - Manx seemed particularly loved - but I did see a lot of forgetting-they-even-existed.

I only tried the fandom a couple of times and there was always hate, so I didn't bother anymore. :/ Maybe I had bad luck.

But Manx gets mad love. I never saw hate for the women of WK the way it is in other series, maybe because any crushes were pretty one-sided so nobody was really in the way of the slash.

What specifically made it bad for you though? Or what made it so much worse than other series at the time?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-30 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
The animation quality was horrible. Other anime were equally bad , I agree. But a big problem was the way the dvd was made in my country. It was all a big clusterfuck of unreadable and completely wrong subtitles, weird editing and it was still very expensive. I bought all dvds because finding series on the Internet back then was basically impossible. I spent a lot of money on the most terribly done dvds ever - I guess that plays a big part in my perception of the anime's quality. OTL

Holy hell, a decent reboot of Weiss Kreuz would make all my days forever.
